The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 186 I've Accepted the Wife-Killing Mission
At this moment, Jiang Man had many doubts in his mind.

I don't understand the stance of the person in front of me.

Are they truly members of the Immortal Sect, or were they sent by Meng Qiewei to test him?

If it is the latter, the consequences of agreeing would be unimaginable.

But what if he really is a member of the immortal sect?
Upon reflection, Jiang Man suddenly understood.

This is simply unacceptable.

It's a pipe dream for someone with only a Golden Core stage to kill Meng Qiewei.

He's courting death.

At this moment, the man glanced at Jiang Man and said, "If I can't kill you, why would I be looking for you?"
"Don't worry, I'm not killing her in her physical form."

"Her true form is very difficult to kill."

"She's better at protecting herself than I thought."

"The old man has some skills."

Hearing that it wasn't the real body that was killed, Jiang Man breathed a sigh of relief, but still asked curiously, "Is she very old?"

He didn't know how old Meng Qiewei was.

Normally speaking, it must be quite large.

"A bit younger than me, I guess," the man said casually while eating fruit.

"Then how come she's an old woman?" Jiang Man asked.

The man looked at Jiang Man and said, "Did I say I was young?"

Jiang Man fell silent.

This person is quite difficult to deal with.

"Tell me what you're planning to do," the man said. "If she really comes out, she'll only be a wisp of power clone. Her strength should be stronger than your Golden Core, but not by much."

"What you need to do is become stronger as soon as possible, and then find her."

"So that we can kill her."

Jiang Man hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Senior, what's her name?"

“Meng Qiewei,” the other party said.

It was indeed her. Jiang Man tried her best to remain calm and then asked, "And what about you, senior?"

"Listen to the wind whisper," the man said, picking another fruit.

Listening to the Wind's Whisper? Jiang Man felt that this didn't sound like a name.

"Do you agree to my request?" Tingfengyin stood up and asked Jiang Man.

Looking at the murderous aura emanating from the other party, Jiang Man sensed that this was a peerless genius at the peak of his cultivation.

But he still held onto a sliver of hope: "Could I refuse?"

“Of course not. You’re the only one I’ve met on this trip. You have no choice, and neither do I,” Tingfengyin replied with a smile.

Jiang Man sighed in admiration at how accurate the person in front of him was at choosing people.

“But what do I have to do?” he asked.

"Get stronger, then wait for my message to see if Meng Qiewei has come out. If she has, find her and kill her." Tingfeng leaned against the tree, looking at the fruit on it, and said casually, "Once her power clone dies, it's the same as sending her back."

"The immortal sect didn't make a move; she was killed by outsiders. It's her own fault."

"After that, it will be difficult for her to get out again."

"Nothing uncontrollable is likely to happen outside."

"Furthermore, I suspect she has someone else on the side."

"In the past, she would definitely have occupied the Magpie Bridge, going out to deliver messages, or even having secret rendezvous."

“But that’s not possible now. I’ll be there every year to oversee the Magpie Bridge, so she can’t go out.”

"Of course, she should still have ways to get messages out."

"You need to learn to hide yourself to prevent them from discovering you."

"Senior, you make it sound simple, but how exactly do I do it?" Jiang Man asked, puzzled.

As an ordinary, exceptionally talented individual, there is normally absolutely no way to achieve anything.

They were completely unable to find each other.

Tingfengyin looked at Jiang Man and said, "Your talent is really poor, you can't even think of this. Here, take this."

As she spoke, Tingfengyin tossed out an identity token and said, "Outside the Immortal Sect, there is a special organization that is affiliated with the Law Enforcement Hall, but does not belong to the Law Enforcement Hall."

"It can obtain a lot of intelligence and control special events in a certain area."

"This includes the evil gods and the influence they leave behind."

"And this token of yours belongs to this organization."

Jiang Man took the token, glanced at it, and found two characters written on it—"Zhenyue".

"To suppress the three mountains and five peaks, and to stabilize the four seas and eight oceans," Tingfengyin explained. "This organization is divided into two parts: the Mountain Suppression Division and the Sea Stabilization Hall."

"Responsible for different regions."

"But the identity is universal; it can be used in the Misty Cloud Sect and also in the Evergreen Sect."

"You have certain rights in all three major sects."

"After that, you can access the relevant intelligence to find the person you are looking for."

"Of course, if you take this, you must fulfill the corresponding responsibilities."

"If there's a need, you'll have to figure out how to handle it."

Sects that deal with evil gods?
Jiang Man immediately thought of Ren Qian and the others.

However, he was very curious about his current status.

He asked.

The answer was: Special Inspector.

They were ordered by the immortal sect to undertake a special mission.

Others can cooperate, and help is also needed to deal with the methods of the local evil gods.

In short, the boundaries are quite blurred.

Jiang Man roughly understood.

Similar to an imperial envoy, dispatched by a celestial sect, they hold high positions, but the amount of power they can mobilize depends entirely on themselves.

Of course, the other party will also ask him for help when they need it.

"Do you have any resources?" Jiang Man asked immediately.

“No.” Ting Fengyin shook her head. “However, you can get some things from me, such as cultivation insights, cultivation questions, and so on.”

“I come here once a year.”

"You're in the Misty Cloud Sect, right? I'll have the Magpie Bridge open there."

"Furthermore, Zhenyue Division is under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Sect, so for your own safety..."

"You'd better think of a code name."

The mission was to kill Meng Qiewei, and Jiang Man felt that they should use a code name.

otherwise
very dangerous.

But what should we use?

"Forget it, you don't need to think about it anymore. When the Immortal Sect appoints you, they'll just fill in any random one for you. As long as you kill Meng Qiewei, this code name will disappear to ensure your safety," Tingfengyin said.

"Wouldn't it be easy for her to find out that it was the work of the immortal sect?" Jiang Man asked.

"Or let her think it was you who did it? As long as it doesn't look like it was done by the Immortal Sect, it doesn't matter whether it was the Immortal Sect or not, she'll eventually think it was them, so it won't have much of an impact," Ting Fengyin said.

"What will happen to her then?"

"Provoking the immortal sects, huh?"

"What will happen to the immortal sects?"

"I will be tolerant, but I won't. I will make her understand that the Immortal Sect's Great Governance is not joking with her. If she can get out through crooked means, how can I openly let her out?"

Jiang Man fell silent.

I feel like I've encountered a very dangerous person.

In other words, such people cannot be safe.

"Are you currently in the early stage of the Golden Core realm?" Ting Fengyin asked.

Jiang Man nodded.

"You need to work hard. My requirements aren't very high. It would be fine if you could give birth to a primordial spirit in twenty years. Take your time, there's no rush."

"It will probably take some time for Meng Qiewei to arrive, and it will also take time to find her."

“Killing her within twenty or thirty years wouldn’t be too late,” Ting Fengyin said magnanimously.

Jiang Man nodded.

Although I don't understand what the birth of a primordial spirit is all about.

But twenty years.

You could tell from that he was given plenty of time.

Not a problem at all.

"Also, during the process of becoming stronger, you can use the token to find someone." Ting Fengyin slowly spoke while wiping the freshly picked fruit, "Meng Qiewei is married, and her husband may be someone from outside."

"Start by looking among those who died suddenly."

"If there are no such people, then select a suspicious person from among those who are extremely talented."

"You don't need to ask or know anything else; it won't do you any good."

Jiang Man nodded to indicate that he understood.

First, clear yourself of suspicion.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "What if we can't find it?"

"Then let's wait for Meng Qiewei to come out and investigate this person through her," Ting Fengyin said. Jiang Man now understood his mission.

First, she found Meng Qiewei and her husband, who was herself.

However, nothing is in a hurry.

He has now been appointed as an inspector of the Zhenyue Division, which is responsible for dealing with evil gods.

In addition, they are considered members of the immortal sect.

I might see this "Whispering Wind" once a year.

After thinking for a long time, Jiang Man asked, "What will happen if the mission fails?"

Tingfengyin looked at Jiang Man and said, "Do your best first."

Jiang Man then asked, "And what if it succeeds?"

“I’ll write you a letter of recommendation so you can join the immortal sect and become a disciple.” Ting Fengyin paused and added, “But I suggest you do it carefully. If you’re discovered, it might be dangerous for you to join the immortal sect.”

Jiang Man understood.

"Don't feel pressured. To me, you're just someone I picked up randomly. Failure is normal, and slow cultivation is the norm," Ting Fengyin comforted her.

Slow cultivation? Jiang Man felt that he, a peerless genius, was being looked down upon?
But they dared not argue.

What if it seems really slow to the other party?

The peerless genius has completely lost face.

After all, everyone says that there are no geniuses among those who cultivate Qi and establish their foundation.

This shows that many people are promoted very quickly.

The later parts truly showcase the extraordinary talent of a peerless genius.

"The situation in Zhenyue Division is quite complicated. The identity you've obtained probably isn't very leisurely. Do you know anything about evil gods?" Tingfengyin asked, handing Jiang Man another fruit.

Jiang Man took the fruit and nodded slightly, then told them that he had come into contact with an evil god, and even took out the statue he had just obtained.

Looking at the statue, Ting Fengyin looked at Jiang Man with some surprise: "You seem to have a strong connection with the evil god."

Jiang Man expressed his agreement.

We also have one at home.

Holding the statue for a glance, Ting Fengyin casually said, "A talent-type evil god, nothing worth mentioning. This thing is divided into yin and yang. Yours is yin, which is used to absorb your flesh and blood to simulate talent, while the other side borrows it."

He then casually tapped a few buttons and said, "Alright, now you can use this to find the other party."

After returning the items to Jiang Man and teaching him how to use the methods he had left behind, Ting Fengyin said, "I have to go."

Before Jiang Man could speak, he continued, "The demons outside have already run away, so you don't need to worry."

"Conserve your strength and wait for the next opportunity to kill Meng Qiewei."

As soon as the words were spoken, everything around them began to recede.

The covering vegetation subsequently retreated.

The stone tablet was also moving away from him.

Listening to the wind's whispers disappeared completely.

Finally, Jiang Man stood halfway up the mountain, by which time the fog had long since dissipated.

Everything around us returned to normal.

After looking around, there really were no more monsters.

"Near miss."

"But having accepted the mission to kill his wife, life is truly unpredictable."

"They were immediately drawn into a battle among the strong."

However, he didn't quite understand Tingfengyin's stance.

Will it pose a risk to myself?

He put away the identity token, planning to ask Lao Huang and the others when he got back.

It's getting late; I need to go and preside over the Yunqian Division's assessment.

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art.

A rustic courtyard.

Qingdai has been very busy lately.

Because they needed to leave to gather information and also to check the attitude of the immortal sects.

In particular, in order to get out, they had to find a suitable identity as a prostitute.

But today, everything within the family has been settled.

All that's left is for the young lady to nod in agreement.

Although the clan doesn't need the eldest young lady's approval for this matter, she has recently been communicating with the clan.

Then we have to make a show of it and let the young lady take a look.

Of course, everyone knows that the young lady wouldn't argue back.

They wouldn't even look at it.

At most, Qingdai would take a look and then relay the information.

And that's what it is.

Qingdai came to Meng Qiewei and informed her of the clan's arrangements, as well as the specific details: "Miss's identity has been prepared, and she is among the selected candidates. All five people who went this time have the cultivation of the primordial spirit."

"So, at most, Miss's strength this time can only reach the primordial spirit level."

"Initially, we were looking for the Golden Core, but the Golden Core was too weak, so it seemed unnecessary."

"In addition, they are all too young, getting married too early, and each of them has their own ideas."

"Such a rebellious spirit will certainly not allow the marriage to proceed normally."

"In order to make the marriage relatively smooth, we can only look for a more sensible soul."

"Of course, these people still have some problems."

"But what young people need is to work together and get to know each other."

"They've sent over the list; we're just waiting for your approval, Miss."

Meng Qiewei didn't care about the list; she only asked if the immortal sect had been informed.

Qingdai shook her head.

They said they had just received the news and hadn't had time to go yet.

"No rush, let's wait a bit," Meng Qiewei said.

Qingdai was puzzled. Why wasn't she in a hurry anymore?

That afternoon.

Meng Qie suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Qingdai."

“Miss.” Qingdai immediately approached and responded respectfully.

"Go to the Immortal Sect, inform them of the trip, and then return the list. We can depart at any time," Meng Qiewei said.

Qingdai asked in confusion, "Is it okay again?"
Without asking any further questions, she excitedly went to prepare.

Being able to go out for a stroll is a great thing for her.

The only thing to worry about is whether something unexpected will happen.

Secondly, there's the possibility of being assassinated by the young lady.

Thus, they sent themselves back.

Although she wasn't restricted, she was the young lady's maid, and her every move was easily observed.

After Qingdai reports the information, we will return the list to her.

Then I started preparing with Meng Qiewei.

Waiting to go out.

It's early August now.

If all goes well, we should be able to reach the Misty Cloud Sect around November.

I wonder if there's any chance of following the young lady and discovering the young master's whereabouts.

at the same time.

Jiang Man had already arrived at the foot of the mountain.

As soon as I came down, I saw a lot of people gathered below.

Song Qing was among them.

Meanwhile, Li Ji was standing in front of a man with slightly gray hair, saying something to him.

They had just seen the mountain shrouded in mist, and then they saw the mist being dispersed at a visible speed.

Not only that, but there were also the pitiful cries of monsters.

For a moment, they felt immense fear of Jiang Man's strength.

This person is so powerful that he surpasses all the previous hosts.

Therefore, they were more careful and respectful towards those in power.

"They're coming down," someone immediately said.

At this moment, the dean, who had been waiting, immediately looked over, quickly stepped forward to Jiang Man, and respectfully bowed: "Immortal Master."

This sudden move surprised Jiang Man.

The other party then continued, "The immortal's abilities are extraordinary; he single-handedly dispersed the beast horde and cleared away the fog, which is truly astonishing."

That was made by Tingfengyin, but Jiang Man just smiled.

Maintain mystery.
